Kannara Daniel: Kingfisher Resort - Storyteller, Bodywork
Revealing Oneself
A Storyteller is an individual who transports you through time and space by opening or revealing something that is not generally seen or acknowledged. The art of the storyteller is closely related to that of the shaman, as both are able to call spirits and to see beyond the boundaries that divide ordinary life from the worlds of dreams and visions. Like shamans, storytellers have the ability to heal individuals and societies.
Kannara's Life Altering Experience connected her with an ancient part of herself bringing through the gifts of the "Storyteller" She has been using her gifts for over 20 years helping people release their emotional and physical pains. As the teller, the weaver of the tale, Kannara will take you on a transformative journey into levels of consciousness, opening your centers to hear, see and perceive greater understandings of yourself through the eyes of the universe.
